Two people were jailed for alleged past violence incidents by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.

A DCSO report said just before 10:00 p.m. a deputy responded to a report of a past strangulation in the 700 block of Leiken Lane, just north of Roseburg. A 19-year old female reported that a 19-year old male had strangled her at the home about three days earlier.

During an investigation, the deputy determined that the most recent report was unfounded. However, both people admitted to previous incidents which had occurred at another home.

They described an incident of strangulation which had occurred about two weeks earlier. The man admitted to choking the victim with both hands while on top of her on their bed. Both said the woman had stabbed the man with a dab stick four months ago, because he would not get out of her way. The man had a scar to prove it, according to the report.

The man was charged with a felony count of strangulation while the woman was charged with 4th-degree assault and for unlawful use of a weapon. Both were released on Friday.
